Lauttasaari water tower, Water tower in Lauttasaari, Finland
The concrete structure rose 34 meters high with a mushroom-shaped design and contained two separate water containers for continuous supply operations.
Built in 1958 as part of Helsinki's water infrastructure expansion, the tower operated until 1996 before its final demolition in December 2015.
The tower marked the first mushroom-shaped water facility in Finland, introducing a new architectural approach to municipal water storage construction.
The facility stored 4,530 cubic meters of water and maintained consistent pressure for the residential district of Lauttasaari in southern Helsinki.
After retirement from water services, the structure served as a telecommunications platform, supporting multiple antenna systems until its dismantling.
